This coming weekend I will be in the D with many other relatives. They arrive Thursday and I won't be in town until Friday. I wanted to give them a map they could print off at home before they left so that they might be able to find some places to eat Thursday night and a couple coffee / deli places before I arrive on Friday. I really only need JUST downtown (basically between all the freeways). I found one on the visit detroit site, but it was a little bigger than I really needed. Anyway, figured someone here has a good one they can recommend. Thanks! | ||

I seem to recall the People Mover web site has a lot of the info you might want - I've never tried to print from it though. | ||

This one is pretty good. http://map.mapnetwork.com/dest ination/detroit/ Also, for a list of all of downtown's 100+ bars/restaurants with descriptions, etc. go to www.insidedetroit.org | ||

This is kinda cool, http://www.detroit2005.com/map o/main_area.html not really printable, but you could print a map or satellite image from this place, http://maps.live.com/default.a spx?v=2&cp=42.335316~-83.04749 &style=h&lvl=14&scene=950595&v endor=google&pkw=detroit%20map|692072911&s_kwcid=detroit%20m ap|692072911 or customize it with push pins of places you want to go and then print it. Other than the destination detroit map already linked, couldn't find much of value. Sorry. | ||

Damn that 100+ bars list is longer than I thought it could be. My goal in life is to get a drink at every bar downtown. I am falling short as I have only been to about 20 on that list. | ||

In all honesty Jerome81, there are many good "way-finding" devices throughout downtown that were put in place just before the Super Bowl. Those are good for general directions. You probably won't find a map showing where all of the restaurants that get mentioned on DetroitYES! are located for example. | ||

There are excellent kiosk maps downtown too. This one is on Woodward, by the Broderick, just south of Grand Circus Park.  Question for the forum. Where else are these kiosks. I believe there is on in the Hart Plaza area too. | ||

There are several of the wayfinder kiosks on Broadway. | ||

Any luck Jerome81? | ||

To be honest, the http://map.mapnetwork.com/dest ination/detroit/ is probably the most helpful. The print works and it is easily scalable. I don't think it matters too much. They're in town already and out with my aunt at the Beach Grille in SCS. They probably won't come back downtown until this evening. They left Spokane at 6am this morning, so I'm sure they're pretty tired. I'll be there by 10am tomorrow morning, so we'll be all set after that time. Thanks for the suggestions though!! If they need a place for tomorrow morning, they can call me and I'll walk them to it. Probably send them to Astoria Pastry Shop for their morning coffee and come pastries. Not too hard to get to from the HGI, though I think HGI might have included breakfast? | ||

Nice pic and point Lowell! I like the idea of kiosk maps! How many are there (excluding Woodward that is?) | ||
